When replacing your roof, many homeowners overlook a critical component that protects their chimney and extends the life of their roofing system. A chimney cricket, also known as a saddle, is a small peaked structure installed behind your chimney to divert water away from this vulnerable area. Installing this feature during a roof replacement is not only convenient but also cost-effective and essential for long-term roof protection.
